[.fun.with.designmyroom.com.]

Via decor8 I found out about designmyroom.com - it's really cool, at least that was my first try to decorate a room virtually. If you love experimenting with colors and 'things combining' (I don't know what the right term for it ;-)), it's really worth a try.



Unfortunately it's only free for one project. It's still fun in any case. If you do log-in to the site, look for me ;-) My screen name is artmea.

This is a screen shot of my first try:

[.yellow.flowers.part.2.]

Thanks for your emails and comments on the updates that were published yesterday. Now here is the second part of the variation on theme "Yellow Flowers". Thought you might enjoy it, too :-)

Happy Tuesday!

.ps.again.do not forget to provide a link back to www.amretasgraphics.com if you use these graphics for your website / email. thanks :-)

.pss.you can certainly add your own text to the graphics on this blog post.

[.yellow.flowers.]

Below are a few new graphics that I use for the frontpage of my website and the about me page. To be very honest I don't know what kind of flowers they are ;-) Inspiration just struck and I happened to love the result. Until I can make a complete set and give it a 'home' in my main site, you can download the graphics here. If you like them and want to use them please don't forget to provide a link back to www.amretasgraphics.com . That's all I ask :-) Have a great week!

[.ps.to download the graphics, right click, choose 'save as' and save it on your own hard disk and upload them to your own server. please don't steal the bandwith by direct linking the graphics to your website, otherwise my website may crash. thank you :-)]

[.feel.good.frames.part.2.]

Here’s the second dose of this week’s frame series. Let’s see if you also like the idea of layered frames. If so I will experiment with more tiles that I have in my collections. The blank frame can also be filled with your own photos. Below I also include a sample with a picture of me :-)









You can also then put together the two frames side-by-side into one graphic, like this:

[.feel.good.cards.]

Let’s see if you like cards with ’feel good’ sayings on them.

[feel free to save and use them - just please provide a link back to www.amretasgraphics.com]






Some of you might also remember I made the Irish Blessings graphics below for my Saint Patrick’s Day sets.





I found it very nice to print the cards (in colors, of course), then edge-cut and stick or clip them to my journal. Choose positive affirmation to brighten your day :-) I include further below the ‘blank’ cards. You can put your own text or saying on them, digitally, or simply print them and write the text using markers.

Somehow, given very limited time, making cards is easier for me than creating new graphics from scratch :-) If you like it probably I will make a special card page later, with instruction on how to put together the graphics and to add the text, the simple way.

[.little.friday.notes.]

A little graphic (yes, you can right-click on it, save and use it), a little note, and a little collage to wish you a happy friday, and have a nice weekend, too! :-)
